Banner Holiday

For our final prompt of the 2024 Jingle Belles season, we're asking you to make a card inspired by our gorgeous Jingle Belles Blog Banner (created by Jingle Belle Lauren). You might be inspired by the glittery letters and frame, the red poinsettias and candy canes, the jingle belles (or jingle bells, lol) ...just make sure you tell us what inspired you in your post.

Here's how we were inspired this week:

Stephanie's Card

Stephanie says, "I started by looking for a star die in my stash, and found this one from Jaded Blossom.  Then I went hunting through my designer paper and found a piece with big red poinsettias. I searched through my Jaded Blossom Stamps and found this fun Christmas Spirits Wine Bottle that had some Jingle Bells.  I colored it with Alcohol Ink Markers and a gold Sharpie for the bells.  I added a wide gold glitter frame like the one in the banner and positioned it off-center like the banner frame.  I finished with a sentiment from the Jaded Blossom Christmas Spirits set and a few bits of gold bling."

Lauren's Card

Lauren says, "For inspiration I chose the poinsettias, the foliage, and the red + green + gold color palette. I used Wendy Vecchi's Build-a-Plaid Layered Stencils and the Christmas Add-On Stamp and Die Set (both from her 2024 Spellbinders' NOT Your Ordinary Card Collection) to make the background and focal point, respectively. There's additional info and pics showing how I built the diecut holly leaves into poinsettias on my personal blog, if you'd like more detail. For the plaid I used Wendy's Archival Inks in Carnation Red, Red Geranium, Fern Green and Sunflower, with a little extra sparkle from a glittery gold pen."
